Anyone who knows me would testify of my distractability: I'm always busy trying to get things done, but in the middle of doing one thing, I find something else that needs done and start it, etc., etc. If I'm really lucky, most of it is finished by the end of the day. Ha! See--just now I remembered I needed to sell one of Jason's textbooks on Amazon, so I opened up a new tab and went to Amazon.com before realizing that is exactly what I'm talking about. I am so ADD. This is why I have a million tabs open at any given time on my computer. It drives Jason crazy.
Anyway, where I was going with that is to simply say I started writing in my journal daily again, but it got a little monotonous this week, so I stopped and am back to writing online. Hmm.
The pictures up there are of when Jason and I flew out to D.C. for my little brother's wedding. They're way up there and don't have captions because I have no idea how to do it. This blog thing is way different than Word. The top picture is of Brenton and Katie. They were sealed in the D.C. temple on May 1st. It was beautiful. Below that is my aunt, out foreign exchange sister Jessi, and my cousin Rachel. Under that is my brother and I.
The D.C. temple is gorgeous. It sits in the middle of a forest and is surrounded by azaleas and dogwoods. I could have wandered the grounds for hours if it weren't for my high heels. I love springtime in the East. It was wonderful to see my family, too. It had been almost a year! Married life monopolizes your money and minimizes trips home.
Giselle graduated high school today and will go to BYU this fall, so I'll have a little sister down there to visit. Brenton and Katie will be going to school there too again. In January Garrett comes home from his mission and also goes to BYU, so I'm going to get to make several trips to see my brothers and sisters. I can't wait!
Jason and I are searching for an affordable-but-nice apartment to move into next month. I got a job teaching first grade in Rigby, and he'll be working in Idaho Falls, so we need someplace more middle ground than Rexburg. I've spent HOURS scanning the classifieds and craigslist for potential apartments and calling for information asking the same few questions. Does it have a dishwasher? Washer and dryer hook-ups? New or old apartment? Etc. Today I talked to a guy about an apartment in IF whom I've apparently already spoken with, because he said, "Oh, you're the one who has to have the dishwasher. You could wash them by hand, you know." Irr. Yes, I have been for a year, and I'm sick of it. Call me spoiled, but I would like a dishwasher, please.
It's late and I'm rambling and I really don't care, because as far as I know, no one reads this blog (and if you do you should tell me so I write more coherently next time).

I read it! I miss you tons. Let me know when you are in Provo so I can see you!
Hey, Meg! It's so nice that you're writing on the blog again. I've missed you :)
CONGRATULATIONS about the teaching job! I am so happy for you. You'll be amazing. Good luck finding housing (that's the worst part of all--other than finding a job. One down, one to go).
I agree with you about springtime in the East. It's more beautiful than I could have imagined. In fact, today I walked outside and started drinking in the smell, trying to place why it was so familiar. Then I realized: the purple flowering bush outside our apartment smells exactly like grape popcicles. :)
I'm glad you seem to be doing well. Thank heavens for trips home to family. It helps make things brighter.
Keep writing because I check it often.
I read your blog, too! It takes me a little while before I get around to checking blogs, as I make posts on mine so infrequently, but I DO get around to it!
Well, it is March 31, 2010, and I just read these comments for the first time. Maybe I am not meant to blog...
